    I've gotten as far as choking up the MIDI ports with lots of Polypressure and Sysex (having a few old Ensoniq synths help) while using the K5000s but it might be a couple of weeks until the X-mas holiday break before I can sit down and play dirty with all my hardware :devil: I figured that Polypressure, letting a BCR2000 send sysex to my JD-990 and FS1r while using the controls on a few knobby synths like the K5000s, Andromeda, Radias, Q rack etc while the MBseq is conducting the orchestra ought to be stressful enough. If it handles that while routing, it's good enough for me. Then we'd only have to worry about underpowered synths like the EX5r for instance (too slow CPU) and things that crash due to lots of MIDI like the Korg EX800 which benefits greatly from a MIDI filter somewhere in the chain of things. But there's dedicated hardware and things like the Mutable Instruments MidiPAL and the MIDIsizer MIDIbud for those kinds of duties.

    Mmm, dreamy sequences and a very nicely shot video! I like the mostly analog sound on this one. It's nice to hear both the Andromeda and the Big Skinny stretch their legs a little, putting their feet on the floor. :thumbsup: Those aliens are inspiring! Johan

    Nice song! :)

    I got some extra pieces from Ilmenator as I have a boatload of MIDI stuff to control if I patch it all in. There's a package from Reichelt arriving hopefully tomorrow so I can get cracking building this. Hopefully I can document what I'm doing and we could achieve some repeatability. I'll test this with both some interesting MIDI clock setup as well as mixing polypressure from my old Ensoniqs with lots of cc:s and arpeggiator data flowing out from my K5000s. If it handles all that, some interesting routing and refrains from messing up any Sysex I'll be a very happy camper :smile:

    Pm sent! It's just a bit random/hectic around the job commute these days :hyper:
  6. jojjelito
    I'm game to get these, but I can't deal with the particulars due to time until next week. If no one else steps up until then I'll be in touch.

    I for one enjoy each and every track! Some day I oughta leave my comfort zone and post some noise/auditory terror :smile: Maybe some MBseq/"Buchla" 258j DIY bass drone? Or some Serge WAD clangorous stuff... The hardware is just an enabler for musical ideas, there has to be some skilled ppl who could probably make awesome synth sounds with resistor leg clippings :smile:
  8. jojjelito
    Haha, I haven't busied myself with details since it's summer but then I can think of a few cool things to try :)
  9. jojjelito
    Great job! I'd be tempted to get some boards just for the bling and sizzle factor :) It could make an awesome rolling text display for instance.

      Wow !! Radioactivity !!! i heard it decades ago !!! and "Antenna" too, it's so great !! what a sound !! they used a Roland RE-201 Space Echo on the song Antenna

      a military speech synthesizer, based on creating phonemes, was used on the song Radioland

      an Orchestron provided choir sounds

    Nice n'dreamy! Yes, it's definitely the Hawkeye sound :) There's something's really tranquil about those flying sequences too. Keep it up!

    There is a separate registration to the MIDIBox Wiki as it resides on another server. It has been closed since spambots were wrecking it. New users should either contact the admins like SmashTV, or maybe you could just tell kristal= what you want in a PM.

    If I could pony up the cash at the moment I'd buy the whole shebang for distribution... It would be nice to toy with a couple :)

    Good one! Hats off! Y U hate on supersaw? It's no worse that drippedy drops, risers, reece sounds or wobble :tongue:

      Listened to this in order to get my 80s on while heating the soldering iron...

    Can't you try a Schmitt trigger in order to clean up the pulses a little? The problem is that it might do something funny with the signal when it's ringing too...

      Really awesome! Prolly also much due to the IR3109?

    2. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Oh, that's just the bass. It's trivial to mod other filters into a more 3109-like response :)

      Oh, that sounds depressing indeed. That's why I rather listen to Carbon Based Lifeforms. They don't have depressing lyrics.

      Unfortunately it is also GEMA-locked, no viewing from Germany without proxies :-(

      Typically! Well, it ain't that depressing. The getting drunk journey is a goal in itself :) Anywho, I just wanted to see if the forum linkified the YT link in the main subject. Seems to work. Further comments with links - not so much. BTW: CBL are nice guys, and they make good music. Now, back to the Radias.

    Ahh, saw that after a little looking. I'd attack the shunt in case it's not doing its thing. Chances are that a non-pro multimeter is worse than the shunt though. Looking at the module design it went from the *censored* LM324, an op-amp that has nothing going for it unless you want a rotten vintage band-limited sound to a TL-074. A 084 might be better, or you could try another low-offset opamp using that common pinning.
  20. jojjelito
    Some of the pots are for the interval, you want 1.00V/Oct, some pots should take care of the offset. Normally this is done so that you try to dial in one or two octaves on the interval, adjust offset, move to higher octaves etc. Just like in Maths you're doing a linear curve fit here. It's an iterative process. If everything has been soldered correctly it should be relatively easy to get at least 5 octaves that are very exact and 7 octaves that are exact to okay. That said, only the bipolar mode of the AoutNG let's you adjust both gain and offset with trimmers. It says on the AoutNG page how this calibration is done. One thing to try is to swap TL074 to TL084 since the latter is optimized for lower offset voltage in the opamps. However, these days with modern semiconductor manufacturing the difference should be very small. Some products and projects will use manual calibration to get as close to a perfect curve as possible, then add 1-3 points per octave in order to build a linearization table to get around small flaws and deviations from the ideal curve.

    The TA12 series of switch caps work just as well. Problem is that Mouser only have a few of them in Black at the time of writing, and some 800 in gray. Digi-Key don't seem to carry these.

    Meanwhile, survival tip of the day: If the PCB has thru-plated holes I'll just solder if from the top :O This saves lots of time. Then it's time to turn it over for some snipping. Any missed resistors or diodes will fall out, much merriment! Of course, once those things are out of the way there's only so much that can be done upside down.
  23. jojjelito
    Hmm, this is relevant to my interests :D I have enough hardware synths to warrant getting some of these as I kind of sort of should get a MIDI patch bay at any rate. The old Mac G5 tower runs some old-school Mac PPC software like SoundDiver, Galaxy and such, the PC runs MIDIquest and separate editors for the XV-5080 and a few more. The i7 MBP runs Cntrl, the editor for the Radias, MIDIbox Studio and what not. Something like this would help me. This is even before I think about the iPad and those editors and things... I'd be happy to help out testing this. Well done!
  24. jojjelito
    Where at more exactly? I could slap one together for you if the building part is the problem. PM me :)

    This demo - it's awesome! BTW, Newhaven has updated their OLED data sheet so it's now possible to correlate the PCB drawings with the actual OLED PCB too in case you need to patch it... I need to dig out the old MB-6582 and see if I can re-enable the OLED and get it working :D It's been resting for far too long while I've been diverted to other DIY thingies. Exciting times ahead!
